SOME practical jester must be taking ad.
vantage OF the Anarchist excitement to
work off some very poor jokes on the pub.
lie. The idea OF Gould being scared into
a voyage OF a years duration by Anarchist
threats unless he interviewed to save the
condemned men at Chicago is too weak for
even Eli Perkins to have originated. The
ridiculous protest of the Social Demo-
cratic Federation of Holland" is strongly
reminiscent Of the Three Tailors of T'oolev
Street. TIL appeal for clemency of the Ex-
IRENE Lett of the Chamber Of Deputies, a
band OF Socialists, who are Anarchists at
heart, is more sensible in tone, but coming
from the source it does is IS little worthy
of attention.

THE latest competitors for national con-
ventions are the Twin Cities OF the North.
west. The St. Paul Globe says: 1.-THE
eyes OF the politicians are on the Twin
Cities, and the probabilities of holding one
or both of the national conventions next
year in either st. Paul or Minneapolis are
now being discussed. The latter city has
already taken steps to make a formal bid
for the Republican convention, with the in
t~ention, If successful in that. also to bid for
the Democratic convention" It adds that
there is no rivalry between st. Paul and
Minneapolis on the subject; the selection of
either will be satisfactory to the other. If
the Northwestern Territories were States,
it would be a matter of interest to them,
perhaps, to see nj or other of the Twin
Cities get their wish. But. as it is, it looks
too one'sided a proposition to receive at
tention from the National Committee of
either party.
